Chapter 1433: Chapter 1418: Gift of Congratulations
Three years ago, the tyrant of the Outer Domain Dead Sea, Jie Tianhe, perished, soul obliterated, causing immense upheaval within the Dragon Alliance. The struggle for the position of Alliance Hierarch led to constant conflicts within and outside the Dragon Alliance.
It was not until a year ago, with the support of the three remaining elders, that the rising star Jiang Suo was appointed as the Alliance Hierarch, stabilizing the situation.
Originally, during the turmoil within and outside the Dragon Alliance, it was usually an opportune time for forces like the Stars Tower and various island factions of Heavenly Wing Island to expand aggressively.
However, very unusually, whether it was Stars Tower or Heavenly Wing Island, or even other major island giants in the Outer Domain Dead Sea, none seized the opportunity to expand.
Only a few medium and small island forces took the chance to make minor moves.
This left Stars Tower and the Dragon Alliance greatly surprised and perplexed.
Especially Stars Tower.
Stars Tower knew well that their reluctance to act was not only due to the tragic deaths of two current Tower Chiefs and an elder patriarch but also because one of their three remaining current Tower Chiefs, Fifth Tower Chief Yan Wudi, went to the Ancient Demon God Temple and never returned.
Under such circumstances, Stars Tower was not only severely damaged in terms of primordial energy, but their inheritance was near extinction, naturally staying calm and steady without daring to act. The only two remaining elder patriarchs were fully focused on nurturing the next generation to continue the inheritance.
But the problem was, while their inaction was understandable, Heavenly Wing Island, with its undiminished power nearly seeing a great rise, along with Anning Island, behaved like turtles nesting at home with no actions.
Even Black Fiend Island, whose Island Master disappeared in the Ancient Demon God Temple, jumped out to seize considerable territory, yet these two islands at the peak of their strength remained inactive.
This tranquility made Stars Tower and the Dragon Alliance fearful.
Thus, various spies recklessly flooded towards these two islands.
Soon, news came from Anning Island, claiming that Island Master Wu Shu was engaging in secluded cultivation. However, his royal concubines revealed that Island Master Wu Shu was no longer on the island.
Heavenly Wing Island was in a similar situation, with three Great Saints simultaneously announcing seclusion for breakthrough, yet seemingly vanished.
Under normal circumstances, among the three Great Saints of Heavenly Wing Island, one would come forward to preside over the situation.
This eerie circumstance made Stars Tower and the Dragon Alliance increasingly curious, hinting at speculation that something major might have happened.
But the issue was, both Stars Tower and the Dragon Alliance were previously intimidated by the Sea Suppression Great Saint of Heavenly Wing Island.
If their speculation was incorrect and one or two suddenly emerged from seclusion, their already stormy situation would turn disastrous.
In such circumstances, although internally shaky within Stars Tower and the Dragon Alliance, the Outer Domain Outer Sea remained exceptionally tranquil.
Until the appearance of those seven gigantic spiritual power whirlpools resembling tornadoes.
Heavenly Wing Island had always been a focal point of surveillance for Stars Tower and the Dragon Alliance, and the location where Ye Zhen appeared was just five hundred thousand miles from Heavenly Wing Island. Thus, when these seven gigantic spiritual power whirlpools emerged, the news quickly reached the Dragon Alliance and Stars Tower internally.
At first, although shocked, neither Stars Tower nor the Dragon Alliance paid much heed, as spiritual power whirlpools had appeared before in True Profound Continent, albeit far less grand than this one.
However, when the duration exceeded a day, neither side could remain indifferent.
Immediately, the elder patriarch of Stars Tower’s Gai Family, the current Great Tower Chief Gai Jun, along with Second Tower Chief Huang Tan, led a group to investigate the situation, intending to determine the course of action based on the findings.
The Dragon Alliance was not idle either; the newly appointed Jiang Suo was fully focused on enhancing his Cultivation, had to rely on a Supreme Elder to take the lead, accompanied by several newly appointed Nine Domain Dragon Kings, en route to observe.
They couldn’t ignore the potential significance of this event.
If it indeed signaled the emergence of an extraordinary treasure, missing out would be deeply regrettable.
Fortunately, those seven giant spiritual power whirlpools persisted long enough, remaining after seven to eight days, allowing them to barely catch up at full speed.
But upon arrival, whether the Great Tower Chief of Stars Tower or the Supreme Second Elder of the Dragon Alliance, they were utterly confounded.
Pressure!
The terrifying pressure emanating from the centers of these seven spiritual power whirlpools paled their complexion to an extreme.
With such terrifying pressure present, it was unlikely signifying treasure emergence; instead, it likely indicated the celestial atmospheric changes caused by someone’s breakthrough in Cultivation.
“Brother Gai, this aura seems far beyond us!” Deliberating for a while, Wen Fuguo, the Supreme Second Elder of the Dragon Alliance, proactively approached Stars Tower.
Despite their contention, the battle years ago led them to delineate territory, resulting in a sense of mutual support amidst each’s severe blows.
“Indeed, with our Cultivation, we are peerless, yet the aura within these spiritual power whirlpools surpasses us immensely. Fear that this aura can only be compared to the legendary Divine Communication Realm!” said Great Tower Chief Gai Jun of Gai Family.
“The legendary Divine Communication Realm, in True Profound Continent’s records over nearly ten thousand years, has never documented such a strong presence!”
“The absence in history doesn’t mean it cannot emerge now!”
“If such an individual indeed appears, it’s terrifying for the two of us…” Dragon Alliance’s Supreme Second Elder Wen Fuguo clutched his fist, staring intently at the seven spiritual power whirlpools in the sky, suggesting, “Brother Gai, if it’s truly an unmatched powerhouse, before they establish themselves post-breakthrough, how about we join forces for a surprise attack to slay them?”
Gai Jun’s eyes flickered, and one had to admit, the proposal by the Supreme Second Elder of the Dragon Alliance, Wen Fuguo, was the most suitable, otherwise, they would be the first to bear the brunt!
Moreover, since this unparalleled expert in front of them could break through to the legendary Dao Entrance Realm, then, as long as they obtain the correct Daoist School, they might also have a chance!
“I share the same sentiment, but if we were to launch a sneak attack…”
The words of Stars Tower’s Great Tower Chief, Gai Jun, were not yet finished when the corner of his eyes suddenly caught sight of seven Spiritual Power Whirlpools in the sky rapidly dissipating.
Exchanging a glance with the Supreme Second Elder of the Dragon Alliance, Wen Fuguo, as they were about to spring into action, suddenly, all the color drained from Gai Jun’s face, and he exclaimed in shock, “Ye Zhen?”
As these words fell, the Supreme Second Elder of the Dragon Alliance, Wen Fuguo, was dumbfounded. He had heard Ye Zhen’s name countless times, but seeing the True Man today was a first.
What terrified him even more was the oppressive aura emanating from Ye Zhen, which instinctively made him feel fear!
In the sky, Ye Zhen was experiencing the state after breaking through to the First Stage of the Divine Communication Realm.
To be precise, Ye Zhen’s current breakthrough was not complete.
This was due to the incomplete Dao Patterns on the True Profound Continent, which had not yet been fully supplemented. Once Ye Zhen returned to the Primordial Continent, he could complete this part, allowing his cultivation to further advance.
The biggest change from currently breaking through to the Divine Communication Realm was a more effortless understanding and application of Dao Patterns, and simultaneously, the number of Spiritual Power within his body had at least tripled compared to before.
These are just the main changes, there are various other changes that Ye Zhen needs to slowly comprehend.
Gai Jun’s voice rendered Ye Zhen slightly surprised.
Unexpectedly, after his breakthrough, the first glimpse was of these fellows.
“Elder Gai, I didn’t expect that just after this saint broke through and came out, you would arrive!” Ye Zhen said, looking towards Gai Jun.
Under Ye Zhen’s gaze, Gai Jun’s forehead faintly broke into a cold sweat, but he had seen his share of big winds and waves, with Stars Tower’s resurgence occurring under his hand, he immediately came up with a countermeasure.
“A heavenly anomaly, just a coincidence for this old man! This old man here sincerely congratulates the Sea Suppression Great Saint on further progress in cultivation, offering congratulations once again to the Sea Suppression Great Saint!”
As Gai Jun’s words fell, behind him, the martial artists of Stars Tower, along with the several Dragon Kings behind Wen Fuguo from the Dragon Alliance, and other martial artists, all emulated the gesture, clasping their hands towards Ye Zhen.
“We sincerely congratulate the Sea Suppression Great Saint on further progress in cultivation, offering congratulations to the Sea Suppression Great Saint!” This mountain-echoing, sea-roaring voice resounded, causing Gai Jun and Wen Fuguo to smile wryly in helplessness, realizing that confronting Ye Zhen was impossible.
Recall the years when Ye Zhen, with cultivation at the fourth or Fifth Stage of the Establishment Realm, could render their two families restless, and now with cultivation in the Divine Communication Realm…
Simply unimaginable.
This sea-roaring voice left Ye Zhen dumbfounded, when did he acquire such great renown?
Actually, it was only unbeknownst to Ye Zhen; to speak of it, Ye Zhen’s reputation in the Outer Domain Dead Sea now was even greater than that of the Great Saint of Jinghai.
Of course, for Ye Zhen, this was merely a surprise; in the Primordial Continent, he had experienced even grander scenes than this many times.
In the sky, Ye Zhen’s gaze moved, he looked down scrutinizing the people below led by Gai Jun and Wen Fuguo, “Elder Gai, you all claim to be here to congratulate me, then where are the congratulatory gifts?”
“Why… do I not feel a shred of sincerity from any of you?”
Saying this, Ye Zhen’s five fingers spread open, then slightly pinched, instantly, the seawater below surged upwards like a tsunami, and before Gai Jun and many martial artists could react, the waves transformed into countless fine threads of water, tightly binding them.
After the breakthrough, the Killing Move, Black Dragon Twist, which Ye Zhen himself had realized, was even more formidable.
In an instant, hundreds of people with cultivation in the Establishment Realm, along with Gai Jun and others with cultivation reaching the second or Third Stage of Dao Entrance Realm, were captured on the spot!
“Sea Suppression Great Saint, please quell your anger, we are here by coincidence! Congratulatory gifts, we will supplement later, certainly will supplement!” At the first moment, Gai Jun immediately conceded.
Even the Supreme Second Elder of the Dragon Alliance, who had always been strong, Wen Fuguo, was frightened, this casual movement capturing hundreds of them simultaneously, how powerful must this be?
In Ye Zhen’s eyes, Divine Light fluctuated, as he began to calculate.
Originally, according to Ye Zhen’s earlier thoughts, it was better to act when opportunity presented itself, and since encountering them, he would deal with them.
However, in Ye Zhen’s plan, regarding the two organizations, Stars Tower and Dragon Alliance, it was not a simple matter of killing.
Upon this thought, Ye Zhen’s open five fingers dispersed, and the seawater binding the people immediately fell away, instantly granting freedom.
“Alright, this saint then awaits your congratulatory gifts!”
As these words fell, Gai Jun, Huang Tan, Wen Fuguo, and others immediately felt like they received a great pardon, turning with their respective forces to leave, heading back to their own homes.
Things were smoother for Wen Fuguo’s side, but Stars Tower hadn’t flown far out before going dumbfounded.
They discovered that the notorious Sea Suppression Great Saint was actually trailing them from afar!
